FIFA World Cup Twitter Visualization

I guess there is many of you that already seen this site but I thinks it’s very well done. It’s The Guardian who’s behind it and it shows tweets during every Fifa Worl Cup game. It looks good and it’s a cool idea. Check it out!
Last year I saw this similar visualization from The New York Times, it’s the same thing with reactions from Twitter but mapped out in the U.S. during Super Bowl, Steelers vs. Cardinals. I think it’s fun to have a look at this kind of things and it’s great inspiration. Visualizations from social media is cool!

jQuery OSX Looking Dock

I am very interested of what jQuery can do and the plugins there is keeps impressing me. I saw the world cup site Twitter did and at the top they were using some kind of dock with the flags of the teams. When I and Henrik Porseland were coding whatisxv.com we wanted a dock with students but the time ran out and we forgot about it.

But now I found jqDock! It’s very easy to use and i will show a very simple example here. You can do both horizontal and vertical dock menus and custom the looks of it very very easy. As I said before I wanted a dock menu with all the students in my class.

My Sky Status

Visit the site: http://myskystatus.com

This is a pretty good example of how to market yourself through inviting other companies. Lufthansa wants you to be able to tweet our update your facebook status while you’re in the air. With MySkyStatus that’s possible. It tracks your flight number and creates a tweet about how far above the sea you are and where and when you landed etc.
I think it’s a cool concept and it looks pretty good too!
